this has no menu entry so just go into a command line and type mscore and it will fire up. or just find it with pfind and make a desktop entry out of it. If someone can either tell me how to make a menu entry or make one for this program, then please do so and post it up here.

this still requires that huge qt sfs but im working on a cut down specific version for just mscore. can someone help me with that and tell me how i can see specifically what parts of qt mscore needs so people dont have to dl all 161 MB of it Shocked

Does the program start without error messages. I get messages about 3 missing plugins (as i recall). But I am trying to cut down the Qt. I can't seem to get a free download of the huge sfs--maybe tomorrow.

Yes, morgonzola, it's working now. I had added the extras, but your Qt is working and the one I was trying to use wasn't.

So far, there is a Musescore pet at 41 MB plus Qt-4.7.3 at 36MB.

As Muggins suggested in the other thread, some of the binaries needed to be stripped ('# strip mscore', for example). Stripping removes 'debugging symbols' that are not necessary for us--as I understand it.. Also I removed the doc folder which was 250 some odd MB! And removed some other folders from Qt.

It seems to start just fine now. Good work. I had been working on it for several hours a couple of days ago and did not get a working version.

I will look to see if I should downsize further and then post. Cheers.

the musescore app looks good...unfortunately I have zero musical ability to use it!

@Playdayz,

in your cutdown version, of Morgonzola's QT4, the mkspecs directory is redundant. Also I wonder if all the Qt4 libs are required for musescore? I compiled some app, in the past, using a full QT4 set of libs, but then pruned it to a minimal set, and it worked fine.

Hi,
I shuold have mentionned in my above post that I each time have compiled Nted for each puppy version excepted 4.3.1:
Here is the one for puppy 4.1.2 which runs also on 4.20; and maybe could well run on 4.3.1 - just get a try on it !

I have followed the developpment of Nted from version 1.4.15 till 1.10.18 and ... honestly, the last one has numerous bug fixes.

On another way, Nted is really easy to compile: juts follow the compiling instructions on the web site:
what I did:
- on a frugall puppy install, load the relevant devx_4xx.sfs
- you have to download pkg-config-0.23.tar.gz somewhere (easy to find where) and compile it;
- download the nted.1.10.18.tar.gz archive, then just compile it.

Here is the pet for 4.1.2
(... I did not know it was possible to attach such that a "big" pet !)
